Civilisations stand and fall, not by might of arms, but by its cosmopolites – the ordinary Citizens and Scholars who make up most of the population.

Book 10: Cosmopolite provides new options and possibilities for characters who have followed the Citizen or Scholar careers. Citizens and Scholars together are keepers of the flame of civilisation.

With this book, your Citizen character will be able to build Networks, a web of Allies, Contacts and Patrons that can be called upon at any time, while Scholar characters can approach their own societies and fellowships for funding and resources accessible only to scientists.

Your characters can now attend University or Medical School, and try a brand new career choice, the Teacher. You will learn how to continue your research, even while you travel the galaxy, publishing papers that push the boundaries of known science.

The referee is provided with all the support material he will need for Citizens and Scholars, from organisations that can act as adventure hooks or Patrons, to scientific questions that have stumped Scholars across Known Space and are now available for players to tackle!

Far from being simple white or blue collar workers, or unassuming librarian types, Book 10: Cosmopolite contains everything you need to make Citizens and Scholars among the most exciting careers to play in Traveller.

The Blood Path Is Now Live

The Blood Path, my adventure for Mongoose Publishing's tabletop fantasy roleplaying adventure Legend, is now live on the DriveThruRPG website.

The Blood Path

The Blood Path

Of all the enemies player characters love to engage in roleplaying games, no more popular enemy exists than orcs. A default enemy, an excuse to have the characters make use of their combat moves, orcs are a staple monster in many tabletop fantasy roleplaying games.

Modern MMORPGs such as World of Warcraft have begun to challenge this attitude, making orcs over as the honourable Klingons of fantasy roleplaying games; but the Monsters of Legend and Cities of Legend: Skarr, City of Orcs sourcebooks still cast them in the same old light – as monsters.

All that changes here.

A chance encounter by the roadside involves the adventurers with a party of orcs on The Blood Path, a sacred quest for vengeance. But things are never quite what they seem…

Will the orcs prove friend or foe?

Can the adventurers thwart an evil that if released has the potential to claim thousands of lives – orc and human alike?

Follow the Blood Path and forge your Legend.

A Legend compatible scenario, The Blood Path can be converted for use with most D100 game systems with very little effort.

I need a publisher ...

A while back, I submitted a possible setting for the Legend roleplaying game coming soon from Mongoose Publishing, but things did not quite work out in that department. Undeterred, I began writing a piece of fiction for the setting, outlining the things that made it unique and, still in the sense of being a fantasy, fantastic.

This weekend just gone, I completed the first 15,000 word novelette. I have begun the second novelette, same setting, a short time after the end of the first, planning on it reaching 15,000 words just like the first. And the third will complete the story, at a massive 20,000 words.

Funny how things just spiral out of hand. I only wanted to write something to highlight the possible setting, and ended up with a novel on the boil.
